Application filed October 8, 1924.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, CHARLES IVAmuNs'roN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Camden, in the county of Schuyler and State of Illinois,have invented a new and useful Chicken Roost, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to a chicken roost, one of the objects thereofbeing to provide a 13 structure of this character which can bedetachably mounted upon suitable supports, and which has means combinedtherewith whereby insects can be prevented from reaching the chickensfrom the roost supports.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which is simpleand. compact in structure and can be easily kept clean.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and. in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within thescope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said d 'awings: Figure 1 is a. top plan view of the roost.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 1s an enlarged section online 33, Fig. 2.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates elbowsforming the corner portion of the frame. These elbows are connected bypipes 2 having longitudinal slots 3 in their upper portions. Riveted orotherwise secured to the bottom portions of the pipes are supportingpins 4, these pins being extended through but out of engagement with thewalls of the slots 3 and being provided, near their upper ends, withsup- Seria1 No. 742,447.

porting collars 5 or the like. The perches 6 which can be in the form ofwooden strips are formed with openings 7 to receive the upper portionsof the pins f and these perches can be mounted on the collars 5.

They can be extended in parallel relation as shown in Fig. 1 or can bedisposed at any desired angles.

For the purpose of supporting the roost, standards 8 can be used. Theseare preferably formed of metal rods having yokes 9 at their upper ends.The frame made up of the elbows l and pipes 2 is adapted to rest inthese yokes.

A suitable insecticide in liquid form may be placed in the frame so asto practically lill the pipes 2 and the elbows 1. Thus it will beimpossible for mites or other insects to pass from the frame to the pins4- and consequently, the perches will be kept reasonably free of them.The entire roost can be quickly removed from its supporting standardsand, obviously, the entire structure can be easily and thoroughlycleaned.

What is claimed is A roost including elbows, pipes split longitudinallythroughout their lengths and connected by the elbows to form a frame,the splits in the pipes being in the upper portions thereof and saidpipes constituting communicating liquid receptacles, pins secured to thebottom portions of the pipes and extending upwardly through the opentops thereof but out of contact therewith, perches mounted 011 certainof the pins and supported above and longitudinally of two of the pipes,perches mounted at their ends upon the remaining pins and bridging theframe, means for supporting the frame, and means on the pins forsupporting the perches.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixedmy signature.
